One of Those Days

July 21, 2012 · 2 Comments

Ever have one of those days where you just don’t wake up like yourself? As much as you try to shake it off everything and everyone just doesn’t seem to rub you quite the right way. Well, today was definitely one of those days. I was feeling ansy as soon as the day started; I just needed to do SOMETHING!  I know what I needed to make me feel better and that was to make some dessert and be outdoors. I’m not fortunate, yet, to live in a location where I can just pick up go outside for a hike, go on the lake or walk down to the beach, which is probably why I was feeling this way. So, with the energy I had, made a sea salt caramel ice cream base {which I’ll be posting about tomorrow} then put a leash on Marley and drove to the nearest park I knew. As soon as I got on the trail, I just felt at ease and myself again. I’m someone who is very connected with nature, and when I don’t have enough of it, my life just seems out of whack. Going up and down trails, unknowing of where I’d end up, underneath the sun, in absolute silence with only Marley trailing alongside me…I felt at home. I thought about nothing, letting those frustrated feelings drift away from me. For two hours, it was as if I was somewhere else, far from reality. As I headed home I remembered a quote I read once:

“When you’re faced with challenges, don’t dwell on them. Instead focus on the things you love in life. When you give attention to the good in your life, you will create more good.”

{decided to take a beaten trail which led us to a great view}

We all have our off days, but it’s how you deal with them that makes all the difference. It’s really important to know what makes you happy and makes you feel like “you”. It doesn’t matter what it is, as long as you feel good about yourself. So, I’ve been enjoying the rest of my night watching movies and indulging in my version of S’mores Afogato.

This Soba Tom Yum Noodle dish, inspired by @chriss This Soba Tom Yum Noodle dish, inspired by @chrissyteigen recipe wouldn’t be considered traditional but it does celebrate the beautiful Thai flavors I love. I’ll take all the spice & lemongrass please🍜😋!! It’s certainly become a staple of mine, one I’ve recreated several times & I highly recommend you save in your back pocket because it will leave you craving more...& more!! 

I used to post lots of recipes on the blog ‘til weddings/events/design took center stage & hoping to do so more again. Get this recipe on the blog now!
I read something yesterday, that made me instantly I read something yesterday, that made me instantly stop & reflect..."Some people think that having Hope makes you naive, but in my mind, it's so much harder to choose Hope over being angry or frustrated..." As someone who considers herself quite a hopeful person, I've had this on my mind since. Let's not confuse Hope w. toxic positivity {in which negative feelings or hardships are pushed aside}, when there is Hope, we still acknowledge our worries, the drawbacks of life, the sadness but still know that there is good.

We've all been doing our best nearing a year into this pandemic; the lives lost, families broken, the uncertain long-term issues, jobs, livelihoods disrupted & most recently too many people to count, struggling after a natural disaster. My heart breaks & is w. all of you, but despite the darkness, what I've also seen during these trying times...is Hope & Love. Communities & strangers coming together to help one another however way they can, even when they too are struggling to get by. That right there, is Hope. Be gentle with yourself, be gentle w. those around you. We’re all doing the best we can🤍
